Advanced Technology Lab Reports

IEC 61850 testing in the Boise, Idaho lab.

It’s never quiet in the utility business. Consider the last decade of advancement in telecommunications, IEC 61850, distributed generation, microgrids and other trends transforming the grid. Each innovation brings new questions about equipment, configuration parameters, compatibility with existing systems and data requirements.

That’s why POWER has invested thousands of hours in our lab testing a wide range of hardware and software. Our independent, vendor-neutral lab provides valuable project space to research, test and train on the latest technology for power system control, protection, automation and security.

Periodically, we issue a new Lab Report to share insights on technology for power system control, protection, and automation.
